The weather is finally sunny and warm. I'm trying to enjoy it as much as possible. Today I hit 2 new moves: stepping ss whirl and stepping reaper. Sadly both are only on one side, but stepping whirl doesn't seem hard on flip.

I got another student 2 days ago. He is 13 and it's a bit easier with him. He practices a lot since we met and we told him how to learn the basics. Anyway, sometimes it's a bit hard with this children. Today I was a bit nervous, I needed some good music and some other players with my technical level in the circle, but the only thing I got was 2-3 kids with tonns of stupid questions (I play on a playground usually). I was pissed off, but fortunately Ã

I had an exam yesterday (one more left :wink: ) and one of my friends had a birthday, so we had some things to celebrate. First we drunk some beer, but after that we needed to change our clotes and buy some booze, so we went home. I was full with energy, and got the idea to shred a little bit.
Without any warm-up and after 3 beers my control wasn't the best. The first thing that came into my mind was that I should make a new opposite toe stall record 'cause this is the only thing I can do without coordination problems. I ripped off my t-shirt and started toe stalls. It was pretty fun and successful, I broke my opposite toe stall record, which is 1054 now :D :lol:
It took about 15 minutes. pff, Anz eats me for breakfast. :lol:

Hm, another long time without post,
but not without shred!
I'm working on my run length and consistency currenty, or I should say I just shred with the highest level I can, and trying to put my biggest moves and unususal combos in my runs. It's fun, though.
I had some highlights in the last 2 weeks, maybe I don't remember all of them 'cause I just woke up, but let me mention:

bedwetter>dimwalk>repeat (it was about time)
stepping ss eggbeater bsos
leggie-style predator (second time, now it was really clean and controlled)
fliside dellusion
flipside ducking far swirl (HAVE to hit this one bsos)
strong dellusion midstring
a pretty long guiltless run with ripwalk, sidewalk, blur & blizzard bsos
legbeater>far swirl bs (not bsosed... YET :twisted: )

now that's all I remember.

I've finally done all my exams, now I'm free for almost everything I want to do :) That's a good feeling. There will be tonns of shred for sure :D

Hey everyone,

I just decided to write something here. As I wrote I've done the semester, but instead of playing my ass off, I had a like 6 days long break in footbag with tonns of partys instead. I never thought it's possible but I think I'm bored on beer :lol: Now I'm trying to find some job, 'cause I want my august to be a totally chilling time.

I kicked yesterday like 1,5 hours. It was a bit too warm, but damn, I love it so much. It's absolutely summer here; I'm waiting for these days since october '09.

I felt my style very good, I watched some Juho footage before playing and imagined I'm him. It worked pretty good :lol: I hit a new move at the beginning: pixie ducking dlo, kinda lazy, and footed pixie ducking eggbeater. Actually, my control wasn't the best, maybe because of the break.
All in all, it was a great session, even if it could have been better. After sessions like that one I feel I'm developing, and can't wait to go to some events to play with other hungarian players.

ps. Grek, if you read this, your juggling balls are still not ready 'cause I didn't find some heavy AND cheap stuff to fill it with. I'm searching of course but if you have and idea just let me know. :wink:

I play more often these days, and it's really fun. I didn't have a shitty session for a long time. I rarely hit new tricks, most of the time I'm preparing myself to the shred:30 which will be held in the 5th Hungarian Footbag Camp (19th-23th august, Siófok - feel free to join us ;) ).
It is realy hard, but it does not include hard links and tricks. The whole stuff is 29 contacts and all of them are unique. Last time I hit the first 22 contacts of it, first try :D It is really tiring to practice, though.

3 days ago I found a job. Sadly I can't work every day but like 3 days a week, so it's not going to pay as much as I expected, bu it's still more than nothing.

I couldn't play yesterday and today... Yesterday I just didn't have enough time and today I felt shitty because of a conflict which is too long to write down and it stole my fun and inspiration in general :? Tomorrow I'll work and then go out with friends, but I'll find a way to kick somewhere, 'cause I miss it. I hope I'll have enough energy to play good.

Anyway, the summer is awesome :D

Today at the morning I went to Székesfehérvár and met up with Grek and 2 other hungarian footbaggers. We kicked around like 2-3 hours long, which sounds much but it isn't that much if you see that there were 4 players in the circle.
It was really fun, the only thing that wasn't the best that all the others were frustrated by the heat and the sun which was shining very hot, so we moved into the shadow of a huge building (let me say we were under the building, it's hard to explain because of it's structure), and there was too dark for me. I figured out again that light is very important to be able to shred well.
I was in shape though, didn't hit anything new, but shredded hard. I hit my first fearless combo again, maybe better executed than last time. Blurriests and flipside paradons felt well too.
Now I'm home, the weather is beautiful and the only thing I want to do is lain back and have a massage by a cute girl. Sadly I can't get it right now. Never mind.

What a KILLER session yesterday!
After a short warm-up I tried some drifters, 'cause I didn't practice them for like one month or so. I did not expect it will be easy, but I hit a perfect driter first try. I said okay, let's practice drifters, and they were rather easy. I hoped before that one day I just understand them. So it happened. Like 5 minutes later I hit drifter b2b with good stalls and sets, but after the first one my finger touched the bag in the air, which made me a little joyless 'cause the combo wasn't flawless, even if it could have been. I got it 10 minutes later anyway :D and also whirl-drifter-rpt. wow.
An other huge highlight of this session was a drill: tripwalk-ripwalk-blizzard-prt., 2 times :D I felt such a huge victory after that.

I had random guiltless runs between he above mentioned stuff, they were also great. I had a good control and stamina, and if I wanted to hit something in my runs, I succeed to it.

This session just hadn't any shitty moments. :)

I played pretty much during the last week. As maybe you saw, I hit a second fearless sick3: Bedwetter>phoenix>blurriest, pretty good executed, clean and all I mean. My last 2 sessions were more like "just for fun", I was a bit tired mentally, I couldn't contentrate enough, but I still enjoyed it. Yesterday i hit a new move: tapping dlo, sadly only on one side. I'm kind of busy with work, I hope my next week will be a bit more chilling. I think I gonna make a Hungarian footbag camp topic here on modified, it would be awesome to meet some of you guys there. It's just such a funny and good event.

My summer goes very fast and very slow in the same time. I don't have much free time, I'm living my life as fast as never before. The good thing is that almost every thing I do is so much fun. 2 weeks later I was on the O.Z.O.R.A festival with Ã

I've lost my inspiration in footblogging or something. Maybe I'm just too busy. It will change now anyway, the semester started today, which means the end of the huge party I was in during the last 2 months.

The most important thing is that I finally have some footbag filler, so I opened a new topic in the "for sale" thread. I call my bags "Narancsbags". I don't explain why, it is too long, but pm me if you are interrested.

An other good thing is that I have a beautiful girlfriend again. Her name is Anita. If I ever hit surging zulu pdx flailing blender, I'll give it that name.

Some footbag highlights from the last 3 weeks:

far swirl b2b, finally
dimmiest bsos
BAP drill (blur>paradon>rpt.)
barfly bsos
pdx drifter
scorpion's tail
blurriest>blur>run
1st place in sick3 in the 5th Hungarian Footbag Camp (with the combo bedwetter>pixie dlo>dimwalkswirl)
2nd place in circle contest; Grek still ownes me, but I had some really good runs. They are on tape, I hope I'll have them soon and be able to share them with you.

The weather is a bit cold these days. I hope it will be warmer soon, I don't want to end the outdoor session yet.

I love to hate indoor sessions, but enjoy them most of the time somehow; just like I did 2 days ago. It was like 1,5 hours long, and I played really well.
I hit a new move: far reverse swirl bs, and a drill: ducking butterfly> reverse swirl>rpt. It's not a huge one, but I love it :)

Oh shit. I didn't notice it, but also can't delete it. Or can I? Help me :(

Never mind. Is it really autumn? Let's GRIND!!!

Highlights from the last few sessions:

dimmiest>ripwalk>ripwalk>blurriest
blurriest+blurry whirl bsos ( :D !!!!)
reverse swirling far toe bs

There were some other stuff too, but I can't remember them now. Luckily, it's warm enough for outdoor sessions.

I've been still stitching like a madman, but I was too lazy to make pictures and post them to my for sale topic. That will change today. Check it out.

Oh yeah, you're right.

I kicked alone today. It was a quite short session, 'cause I hurt myself again (twisted the ankle), but luckily it's not a big deal.
The session itself was good anyway. My legs felt a bit weak, but had good control on them. Highlights (includnig the previous session):

down doubledown bsos
ripwalk x 27
ducking butterfly x 14

DDDs are so good. It was the first time I hit it on my flip, and I was really happy about it.

ps. Let me share something with you.

These two guys are playing with Hang, the most awesome instrument I ever faced. My plan is to get one, but it is not easy. Only 2 person produce it and they cost like 3000-5000 dollars. Never mind. I'll solve this problem somehow.

I think it's time to develop my swirls in general. Yesterday I hit opp. butterfly swirl bsos, but my flipside sucks. On strong side I can hit it easily, but I don't stall it on my usual clipper-surface (a bit closer to my anke) and even if the set is straight after it, I couldn't pull out a stepping from it.
My motivation to learn ripsteins has also grown during the last week. I hit some of them on both sides, and they feel learnable, but the way I hit them now is far away from perfect.
My last 2 sessions incuded 2 remarkable highlights taught: Ducking far swirl midrun (and also the best in my life so far), and 24 ducking infinities.

Haha, today's was a funny session. My control sucked at the beginning and there were a few moves and concepts I couldn't hit like usual, but some good highlights occured.

Blurry dlo bsos, it was about time
motion sickness, clean and controlled. I never tried it before, and hit it second try. I don't think it has anything to do with my real technical level or something, but it was definetly lulzworthy.
some good ripsteins.
